There are LOTS of people in the comments asking about Duck Duck Go. That is a primarily a search engine, not a browser, although they do have a browser app that's only available for smart phone. A browser is different from a search engine. For the most private search engines, including duckduckgo, see this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWinr9WtptrPYKw.html

Actually, TOR does NOT disable JavaScript by default. It will, however, if you change the security settings from Standard to Safer of Safest. TOR at first launch is, by default, set to the Standard setting.

I agree that some browsers are more secure than others but counting on the browser itself to protect privacy might not be enough...similar to the discussion of VPNs when ppl think one VPN is more mature and famous than others, there's no way to find out if my data has been leaked or even sold.

I've always wondered, when you use a VPN, doesn't that just hide or throw off your route or location? So, when you land on a website it's still going to load a tracking cookie onto your computer. If you leave that site and go to another, won't it still register the website you went to, and how long you stayed there, regardless of whether your VPN took you ten times around the globe to get there? Using a VPN can allow a person access to websites they might not be able to normally access, due to appearing to be somewhere you're not, but they don't do anything about the tracking cookie problem do they?

IP numbers are one of hundreds of ways of tracking people. Using a VPN is the equivalent to going by taxi instead of train to a restaurant, they still know it's you, just not how you got there. VPNs sift through and sell your personal data. WeVPN used to repurpose customers systems to route traffic to sites too, to avoid blocking. Many VPNs do this if you install their software, you become an extra exit point. They claim not to log, but do for billing and user access, so do server farms as required by UK Law. The VPN that will only accept cards or PayPal is creating profiles, verified ones, they sell for more. You're paying them to sift through your data and sell it. They're in law less countries too, so no chance of protecting yourself or holding them to account. People using VPNs are scam victims. Easily fooled and manipulated, not too bright... Police run VPNs too, just to watch traffic. Any company you see vanish after a year or two was police, I found one server in the same IP range as police in the North of the UK used, then located it to the city of Chester. It was inside a police station. I'm not sure why WeVPN didn't know. Either they did and shut down, or the whole thing was a scam. You can NOT trust a company with all your data.

Brave is currently the way to go. However an important feature of brave is not mentioned. Brave in incognito mode, allows for use of tor network for browsing. So, one need not use the tor browser to get the tor network benefits. I find this feature to make Brave the most perfect choice at the moment. Oh and liked + subscribed, Naomi your content is awesome, just discovered today.

This channel is underrated

it is important to remember: information is normally stolen from the endpoints: either from your computer -- or from your correspondent's computer. this brings us to s second key: you need to use a secure operating system,-- Linux/Mint Manjaro ... And further: each browser is built using software obtained from our supply chain..... the java interpreter..... the HTML rendering engine,.... We've not touched on the so called "Intel Management Engine" You might use 2 computers and establish an air-gap: System 1 for editing/encrypting/decrypting; System 2 for transmit and receive. Use CDs to transport data rather than USB devices...... Tinfoil hats on sale later today. That aside, there's much to think about Keep up the good work, Naomi

Firefox can be modified a lot more than Chrome, using about:config you can enable many extra privacy features (like resistFingerprinting). However, it's arguable whether this makes your browser more unique, despite randomizing fingerprinting results constantly. It can also break websites, like KZread stats displaying dropped frames when it's actually fine.

Why can't someone make a ultra private browser.

At 1st I used Firefox but there are many websites and apps that Firefox doesn't support. Most of the time (at least on my laptop) I use Safari which protects from many trackers, but they all have their breaches. FB won't allow me to use video on Safari, forced to use Google. & Google tries to force itself to be sole browser, but I don't bite. I only use when forced

I like to use EFF's Cover Your Tracks to compare the Ad Blocking, Tracking, and Fingerprinting protection of browsers. Brave is the only browser that passes.... Brave's Randomized Fingerprint is key to its' success. Users really need tools that allow them to test on their own and relieve them of dependence upon others.

Most important, a browser is and can only be as secure as the user makes it. Even Tor will not protect you if you sign in to accounts and do not know how to use it correctly. It does depend on how much privacy you need or prefer or want. All browsers do offer some level of privacy if used correctly and if you do take the time to configure it correctly. Ultimately it would be best to not use one browser for all your stuff but rather split different things between different browsers and even different search engines to prevent any one of them from getting a full picture of who you are or what you do. Btw, Tor is capable of blocking JavaScript, but by default, it will not block much. Most people will be turned off immediately if they open a website and the media doesn't load. Both Brave and Tor do by default use DuckDuckGo as the search engine. There is another option, but I haven't checked it out yet, but that is a different level of privacy as that requires running a privacy-focused Linux distribution Known as Kodachi. In effect, it uses a VPN and the Tor network and does come with several plugins.
